Abstract:		 During January and February 2006 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation along the proposed route of the Southfields to Swaffham Prior water main replacement in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. This work was required under the terms of Anglian Water''s statutory obligations, to determine the location, extent, date, character, condition and significance of any surviving archaeological remains under threat. Evidence for prehistoric activity was revealed at the south-western end of the pipeline in the form of a series of substantial post-pits aligned north-south and a scatter of worked flint in the topsoil. Environmental analysis supports a prehistoric date for these pits, suggesting that they were in use at a time when woodland clearance had recently taken place. The post-pits were probably peripheral to any related settlement and may have served as a boundary marker. Previous analysis of early Iron Age coins found in the vicinity suggests that the nearby Devil''s Dyke follows a more ancient boundary between the tribes of the Iceni and the Catuvellauni. It is possible that the post-pits revealed in this evaluation were a component of this boundary or its predecessor.
